We are well into April, which means that there is less than four months (at this point, it is closer to three) until my wedding. I find this particularly disturbing, because my focus lately has not been my wedding at all. I’ve been distracted with work things, and blogging things, and all other things.<\/p>\n

I don’t have that much left to do. Our engagement shoot is on Easter long weekend, so we will be getting a photo taken to formally ask my cousins to be our flower girls. We need to get tuxes and bridesmaid dresses, and do a fitting of my gown. My fianc\u00e9’s ring still hasn’t been purchased, I need to figure out table cloths ( I was going to buy them online, but the store I was going to buy them at has been sold out for what seems like forever), napkins, an alter,\u00a0\u00a0and we need to figure out the processional.<\/p>\n

I’ve been too distracted by my goals for 2014 to really do any of these things. Here’s how I’ve been doing on my goals:<\/p>\n

\"good<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Lose 15 Lbs<\/h3>\n

I lost a couple of pounds in February<\/a>, but I don’t think I was so successful inJanuary<\/a>. For March, my Fit Bit has showed a huge increase in activity. As the weather has been nicer, I have been able to get out for walks and have also been going to the gym a bit more often.<\/p>\n

I’ve been bad at tracking this to find out whether I’ve actually lost weight, so since I don’t know what my weight was at the end of February to compare it with the end of March, I’ll just say that I passed this.<\/p>\n

2. $20,000 Online Income<\/h3>\n

In January, I made just over\u00a0$1,600 online<\/strong><\/p>\n

In February, I made\u00a0$1,627 online<\/strong><\/p>\n

In March, I made $1,375.35<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a grand total of over $4,602.35.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

March wasn’t my best month earnings wise, but I’ve been a lot more picky about where I make my income. I purposely did not renew some contracts.<\/p>\n

I need my online income to be sustainable and so I’ve been moving more toward affiliate income. I made a good chunk of change in affiliate income in March, but because the payout won’t happen until mid-April, it will be captured in April. Plus, I came just under the threshold for a Google Adsense payout, so we’ll see one of those crop up next time too.<\/p>\n

If I earn like this every quarter, I would fall short of my goal of making $20,000 of online income. I know it’s only going to get better, though!<\/p>\n

If anybody needs a staff writer, commenting services, social media manager, or even blog startup<\/strong>\u00a0(WordPress loading, basic formatting, customization of Weaver)\u00a0let me know!<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. 1 Hour\/day Unplugged<\/h3>\n

I definitely did well with this goal in March, but now my brother is back from a long work assignment so that means my fianc\u00e9 will disappear to hang out with him a lot more often. That doesn’t mean that I can just let my unplugged goal drop off the map; I need to take time for myself too! So I will keep working toward this in April.<\/p>\n

4. Get a Promotion<\/h3>\n

I have been doing a lot of work in this area in working toward getting a promotion at the day job.<\/p>\n

I had a performance review in March, during which I got some amazing feedback. I met with my boss to get her opinion and expertise on some professional development ideas that I had, and to let her know that I was interested in moving forward.<\/p>\n

I also put my hand up for an exciting new opportunity which I think will put me out there in the organization and help develop my skills. I keep challenging myself and putting myself forward for projects and experiences.<\/p>\n

I have an interview for a promotion this week (wish me luck!)<\/em> and I was shortlisted from a pool of qualified candidates and likely my colleagues. If I get this promotion it would be a great opportunity for me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So there you have it. My progress. Here’s to an awesome April!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
